[Resolu'd to loue, vnworthy to obtaine]

[1]

Resolu'd to loue, vnworthy to obtaine,
I doe no fauour craue, but humble wise,
To thee my sighes in verse I sacrifice,
Onely some pity and no helpe to gaine.

Much sorrow in itselfe my loue doth moue,
More my dispaire to loue a hopelesse blisse:
My folly most to loue when sure to misse,
Oh helpe me but this last griefe to remoue.

All paine if you command it, ioy shall proue,
And wisedome to seeke ioy: then say but this,
Because my pleasure in thy torment is,
I doe command thee without hope to loue.
